Meditation can help people with depression and insomnia live a healthy life.




I started meditation on July 19.
Every day, I meditate at the Phnom Penh Meditation Center.
When I am busy, I join Zoom meditation online.
If I have time, I go to the center.

I also run on the treadmill for 30 minutes every day.

On Saturday, July 26, I joined a 5km running event called "Miles for Mother Charity Run" with my friends from the Phnom Penh Meditation Center.
It was my first time joining a running event.

I have been struggling with depression for 1 year and 6 months.
It was hard to breathe and hard to sleep.
I took 4 pills every night.
The medicine helped me sleep, but I had many dreams during sleep.

On July 27, the doctor told me I only need to take 2 pills now.
The amazing thing is, I can sleep well without dreams.
I think I will stop taking medicine completely soon.
My depression is getting much better.

I am still a beginner in meditation,
but I hope many people try meditation like me.
It can help people with depression and insomnia live a healthy life.
